HAMILTON, Ontario (AP) — Forward Emily Clark has signed a two-year contract with Hamilton's PHWL expansion team.
Clark, who was under contract with Ottawa through 2027-28, joins Hamilton on a new deal through the same period. Hamilton announced the agreement Sunday.
Clark was one of Ottawa’s three foundational players ahead of the inaugural PWHL season, serving as a three-year alternate captain since the team’s debut. The 30-year-old is second in Charge history in assists (27) and third in goals (16) and points (43). She helped lead the team to back-to-back Walter Cup finals.
She led the Charge in all-time games played (84 regular season, 16 postseason).
The signing completes the list of five players to be added to Hamilton during Phase 2 of the PWHL’s expansion process.
Clark will be reunited with former Charge captain Brianne Jenner, the first of the team’s Phase 2 signings that also included fellow forward Alina Müller, defender Nicole Gosling and goaltender Kayle Osborne, all on three-year contracts.
